Microsoft is completely ending support for Cortana, which is already in Windows. Developed in response to Apple’s Siri and made available even earlier than Amazon Alexa, Cortana will be lifted into the dusty shelves of history. Here is the history.Microsoft’s Cortana adventure is over
To recall, last June, Microsoft announced that it will no longer “support Cortana as a standalone application on Windows” from late this year. However, it seems that this date has been moved earlier.
Via an updated end-of-support document today, Microsoft announced that it will no longer support Cortana on Windows starting August 2023. At this point, Microsoft is directing affected users to try AI-powered Bing and Bing Chat, Windows 11 voice access, Microsoft 365 Copilot and Windows Copilot.
For those who don’t know, Microsoft Cortana first came into our lives with Windows 10 in 2015. At this point, Cortana, which has similar capabilities with Google Assistant and Apple Siri, allowed you to set reminders, open apps and ask questions. So much so that it later appeared on Android and iOS platforms. However, we see that all this is gradually disappearing.It is worth noting that Cortana will not disappear completely. Microsoft says the voice assistant can be used in the Outlook and Teams mobile apps, as well as in Teams screens and rooms. Considering Microsoft’s work in the field of artificial intelligence, we can say that the new news is a little surprising. However, there may be other projects in the plan. We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out about all this.
